💅 drm_rect_translate_to(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel docs, and yes, we're gonna make it cute. it's drm_rect_translate_to, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy". let's go bestie ✨

✨ NAME ✨

drm_rect_translate_to — translate the rectangle to an absolute position 🎯

like, not relative translation, not "nudge it a bit" — we're putting this rectangle exactly where we say. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void drm_rect_translate_to (struct drm_rect *r , int x , int y );

look at that signature. clean. iconic. no return value, it just does the thing and leaves 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • r — the rectangle to be translated 🫶 this is the lil guy we're moving around
  • x — horizontal position ⭐ where it's gonna land on the x axis
  • y — vertical position 🦋 where it's gonna land on the y axis

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Move rectangle r to x in the horizontal direction, and to y in the vertical direction.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's not adding, it's not offsetting — it moves r so it sits at x horizontally and y vertically. absolute positioning, no cap 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie, the friend group is LARGE and we love them all. these all live in the kernel file ./include/drm/drm_rect.h under rect utils(9):

go read them all bestie, they're all in ./include/drm and they all slay in their own way 🌈

ngl this one's short and sweet — but if you're reaching for it, double-check you don't actually want drm_rect_translate(9) instead. that one's the relative-move sibling. this one is absolute. iykyk 🙈

and that's the tea! 🍓 source path is ./include/drm, dated October 2026 — so mark your calendars, mwah 💜 🧚
